Prof. Noam Chomsky talks about how the IAEA calls on Israel to open up their nuclear facilities to inspection by the global body of the IAEA.

Chomsky also points out that this news got absolutely no mention in the American press. This simple observation by Chomsky shows just how unbalanced the coverage of Iranian pursuits of nuclear power have been in the US.
Several months back when former President Carter dared to speak the unspoken truth as to the existence of Israel’s nuclear stockpile, he was scolded and shunned in the American press for revealing such “secrets.”

If we are not willing to confront the nuclear problem as a whole, rather than picking and choosing who we help develop nuclear capability and who we threaten for such development, we are simply not making the world any safer.
Chomsky also talks about how the US helped both Pakistan and India develop their nuclear technology. Now it has become obvious that the US has potentially armed both sides of a potential conflict with nuclear weapons, but unfortunetly it happened because the US government was so focused on their narrow interests, either they did not see the potential disaster or they did not think it out weighed their own goals. Either way, it is not acceptable.

Perhaps, he would not even let it happen? Perhaps, he would try to “bailout” (buy) NBC from GE. Luckily for those of us who enjoy the free press, I think that is illegal… but who knows anymore? In this day and age, the politicians get away with about everything.

You may or may not have heard that Comcast was thinking about buying part of NBC from General Electric. After that happens, GE is still able to sell its non-controlling portion. This is where News Corp and Liberty Media come in to play. Both would be glad to purchase NBC.

Reuters reported:Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp (NWSA.O) and John Malone’s Liberty Media Corp (LINTA.O) are also interested in NBC Universal, though neither has approached GE so far, CNBC reported, citing sources.
News Corp, which owns the Fox cable network and local TV stations, had been seen as a less likely bidder, analysts have said, because taking a stake in NBC might raise antitrust concerns with the U.S. government

Oh you bet the government would raise antitrust concerns… But GE, one of the government’s biggest suppliers, owning NBC and MSNBC? No problem.

Consider Supporting Us! Chipin on Right Sidebar!

There has been much talk about SNL’s critical Obama skit. The funniest part is it aired the week before Obama won the Noble Peace Prize. Last week I wrote an article (link in sidebar) on how Glenn Beck “One-upped Obama,” which received many comments praising Obama’s handling of Fox News and Glenn Beck. I used to just go after congress and give Obama the benefit of the doubt, but how can anybody give him a pass now? I cannot believe that people still defend Obama. How long can the argument “He is only been in there for 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year!” still have merit? Perhaps after the 2010 elections he might be able to get some work done, with a republican congress…

Giving Obama a reward for all the hard work he has done is one thing… if he has done anything but talk. We are still in Afghanistan and Iraq, while making Iran even more of an enemy. There has been no peace yet, there has been no global work yet. Obama has done nothing but talk on the global stage. Obama has done nothing but talk on the national stage. Americans are sick of hearing that he is, or will be the “greatest president ever.” Supporters of Obama are doing much more worse than good defending Obama. Wait until there is something to back your words until you continue to defend the President.

Everything you hated Bush for… the Iraq war, wiretaps, patriotact, the deficit, are not getting fixed. You hate one man for these things, but will give a pass to another. That does not make Bush any better than Obama, but it could make Obama as bad as Bush. Or worse… Perhaps, much worse.

For those of you that have followed my writings in this blog and on our main site know, that my greatest goal is to restore our civil liberties. Civil liberties that we are entitled to, mind you. I have gotten heat from this from both sides of the aisle, something that has always irked me. I have been banned from one political forum because I attacked Obama’s “change” of mind in regard to the Patriotact or the wiretap bill. I have been attacked by conservatives for my call to end the Patriotact.

Hey liberals, are you not the same people who attacked the patriotact when it was in place?

Hey right wingers, are you not the same people who want to keep your gun rights and fear that Obama and Polosi are going to take them away from you?

I feel I am a conservative, but I do not think the average “conservative,” is actually a conservative. Calling for something like the Patriot Act is more liberal than anything I have ever heard of.  How much increased (liberal) spending did our police departments or federal departments get to enjoy? Still enjoy? Can we just bring back the good name that conservatism once had?

I am sick of all this. We NEED our rights given to us by our founding fathers. This post is a response to an article I read from an Associated Press writer featured on Yahoo! news. In this article it talks about how over 1 million people are just randomly searched in the street. I dont like it when I am patted down when I go to a Patriots game (very patriotic, get it?) let alone “randomly.” I urge you to read this article. Next time a cop stops you for no reason and asks to search your car, or to pat you down… scream like bloody hell. No they are not “just doing their job” they are treading on our rights. Their job is to protect law abiding citizens. You do not decide who is law abiding by doing random searches, breathalysers, or pat downs.

And Barack Obama doesn’t even know it. The Administration is in full attack mode. Obama and his administration has specifically targeted fox news and Glenn Beck. His latest attack will do nothing more than give Fox News and Glenn Back more power and higher ratings. Controversy is the best promotion. Obama, by doing this, has given Glenn Beck even more power. It amazes me that nobody in the current administration thought it was a bad idea to specifically target a popular network. Barack Obama just signaled himself out as Fox News’ biggest target.

This all shows that Barack Obama is getting flustered and getting more vulnerable. His failure to control his one-sided congress when it came to the matter of health care, showed his weakness. You cannot blame him for thinking he would be able to rally the troops. He has finally figured out that congress is just functioning to save their own necks, not his. Fox News and conservative blogs have been able to take down Van Jones and ACORN. The latter was not a simple task.

Glenn Beck’s ratings are already incredibly high, especially for the 5PM time slot. Glenn Beck’s Ratings have even been surpassing Fox News’ Hannity at 9PM. Imagine what would happen if Fox News changed Glenn Beck to the 9PM time. Watch out Rachel Maddow! Oh wait, nobody is watching you anyway. Like him or hate him, Glenn Beck is enjoying all this controversy. It just makes him stronger.

The Fact that Chicago completely lost its bid to host the Olympics, in the first round, shows that Barack Obama’s attacks were an act of desperation. Watch the BBC video here. Barack Obama went all in, and lost big.
